Does anyone have the SMART data from their Seagate 7200.10 series HD's? I just pulled the data with Hard Drive Inspector and my Seagate model : ST3250820AS (250gb SATA) power on time is 1,208 hrs (50days) and its showing 70% reliability, performance, and error resistance. I got a Seagate 7200.8 model: ST3400632A (400gb PATA) power on time is 1,692 hrs (70days) and its showing 44% reliability, performance, and error resistance. I'd like to know if anyone else in the community is also having such low percentage scores on their Seagate HD's with such low power-on time... All my WD's are 100% even the PATA ones.

I don't know much about the SMART system, ok, I know a bit, but all of my drives are reading strangly...

It might be, it might not be...is it overheating? Giving you read/write errors? Corrupt data? Those are the telltale signs....

Anyway if anything at least I bumped you...

its not really over heating since i dont use the PATA but once a month for data backup, the SATA is my windows one, it DID at one point give me windows boot error but i think that was windows bootsector corrupted which was fixed later by rewriting the bootsector...HD Inspector shows the PATA drive current 47% on raw read error rate and the SATA at 50%. Hardware ECC covered on both is at 50% currently. the temps are like 37/39C

what brand hard drives are they? I would download diagnostics tools for each of the hard drives and do the tests provided.

Seagates....

doh... didn't see that in the title . Run the seagate diagnostics tool they have:

LoL, ran inquiry, power-on time is accurate to HD inspector. But the seatools failed SMART check. but the inquiry shows SMART enabled. losing faith in seagates now...
